After Dead as Disco, here's a very different atmosphere, The Caribou Trail plunges us into the horrors of World War I through the eyes of a young Canadian soldier from Newfoundland and two of his friends. This title from the Montreal studio Unreliable Narrators is a narrative game with a fairly minimalist visual style, yet it proves to be artistically very successful, and it offers voice acting in both English and French Canadian. We get a glimpse into the soldiers’ daily lives outside of combat and on missions, along with their doubts and fears, of course. The events depicted here are inspired by real-life events, and from what little we’ve seen, the whole experience is quite engaging despite gameplay mechanics that are fairly simplistic overall. We particularly appreciate the little historical tidbits that accompany the various collectible items. We’ll let you enjoy the first forty-eight minutes of the adventure in its PC version, while we wait for the PS5 release on July 7.
